RUNAMUCK Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 These things are amazing off road. I remember one night in a mates one, we chased a rabbit through some sand dunes. They're surprisingly capable vehicles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Quite distinctive and all too similar to what some friends had for a very long time, was a well loved vehicle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Correct, belonged to the Sheehan family in Wanaka for many years, their kids both went to the winter Olympics for skiing, no doubt that car played a big part in taking them up the hill. I used to live on the same road, their dog would wander up to our place to sleep on the couch, Mark would come up looking for the dog and also park on the couch, often talking about surfing on the west coast, that car has lived a life of adventure, don't stop! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spam sharns: He is bit of a humble legend of the area, years ago there was this thing called the World Heli Challenge, where snowsports folk would hang out in Wanaka to do silly things on helicopter accessed terrain. Rip Curl was key sponsor so for shits and giggles they added a surf day into the schedule, most of the crew were pretty accomplished surfers along with some token pros they brought over, it wasn't a token bunch of kooks being let loose on a gnarly west coast break, was lining up to be a pretty impressive day. We convoyed over to mussel point near Haast where a decent shore break was guarding access to the waves, a number of the crew got pretty beaten up just paddling out with the lucky few having a good time out the back. Without much fuss, Mark wanders off solo down the beach, few of the crew picked up and started asking what the old fella was up to so a few eyes were in his direction, he casually climbed out along the rocks, with precision timing slid into the water past the shore break and paddled out for a pretty decent wave, zero stress and effort as expected on his home break. Some pretty capable pro surfers got schooled hard and were left asking who the old guy was, good laugh for the locals when the reply was just some tradey who followed us here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
